My sons 13" MBPro is tuck at start up has the spinning daisy.
I have tried to reinstall OS but it continually says there is an error and wont allow it to happen.
I believe it is running on lion- The installer wants to do Mavericks...could this be the issue?
On the bottom of the MBP is the serial number. Enter it here and post back the model information:

Exactly how are you trying to reinstall the OSX?
Ciao.
I am responding from work i will enter the serial # when I get back home.
I am attempting to reinstall via -holding down the option key at start up- then choosing the option of reinstalling from the option that is not a back up on the HD.
It takes me through to the next step but says an error has taken place and says to retry and i have to start from scratch only to be stuck in that loop.

OK.
Here is what I think you are looking for:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Though this should not have an affect on you data, I hope you do have a backup.
Boot the MBP OPTION+COMMAND+R. The display should show a spinning globe.
Follow the installation instructions. This connects to the Apple servers and will install the original OSX.
You will need a solid Internet connection.

I tried this and it says I cant install this version of OSX because it was updated-
Tell us exactly what it said please.
"You can't upgrade this version of OS X because a newer version is installed"
So, the question is which version of OS X is on your Mac, and what are you trying to install?
Well it wont allow Mavericks re- install and it wont allow Mountain Lion-
This was just purchased this past August for my son for college-
It gets hung up at the start up screen and the daisy just spins and spins for ever.
I have run disk utilities - disk verify and repairs - minor repairs and it still wont start up.
Any Help?
It looks like the HD has 10.9.3
And what is it that you are trying to install?
Well- I need to reinstall 10.9.3 right?
Why?
Why are you trying to reinstall the version of OS X that you already have, is there a reason?
and it looks like the recovery disk only has 10.9.1
